![]() ![]() While in “Back to the Moon,” it didn’t look like any of the Gems knew about the shattering, Garnet either knew about it or has come to terms with it quickly enough to explain it to Steven in a way he understands. The background work is notably beautiful, with dreamy shots of space that look straight out of concept art for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. While Rose didn’t always do what was best for her, she did what was best for Earth, even if it meant shattering someone.Įerie and sweet by turns, this episode seems to provide some kind of closure to the heaviness and revelations of the previous two by giving us another perspective on Pink Diamond’s shattering via Eyeball. Garnet explains that they did what they had to do during the war, and the Earth belonged to Pink Diamond, so Rose had to destroy her to save the planet. Pearl and Amethyst clutch him, both sobbing, and Garnet takes off her glasses to wipe away her tears as “Love Like You” plays over a montage of their relief.Īfter the big touching reunion, Steven asks why nobody told him about Pink Diamond. What looks like the Ruby ship locates and pulls him in. Unable to stop Eyeball through words, Steven dissolves the bubble long enough to send Eyeball flying and then closes the bubble around himself, scared and alone. Steven tries to get Eyeball to understand: they’re lost in space and she won’t be able to get home anyway. As Steven tries to run, Eyeball cackles at the idea of being given her own Pearl for killing Pink Diamond’s killer. Eyeball pulls a little dagger out of her eye and launches herself at Steven to retaliate for the shattering of Pink Diamond. Once the hysterical laughter ends, the attempted murder begins. She starts laughing hysterically at their situation. That’s what it takes: Eyeball believes that Steven is Rose Quartz. Steven concentrates hard and pulls her into his bubble, then offers to heal her cracked Gem. An asteroid gets Eyeball right in the, well, eyeball. Then they hit an asteroid field, sending Steven’s bubble pinballing through the debris. Steven tries to convince Ruby by summoning Rose Quartz’s shield and showing her a photo of Rose on his phone so Eyeball can see the mother-son resemblance. Fool me four times, you already fooled me and you can’t fool me again.” Steven admits that he knows where Rose Quartz is and then nervously explains that she… is him. She hoped Jasper might have answers, but it was all another trick. Eyeball yells that she should never have come back, but she couldn’t believe the Crystal Gems were still on Earth and that Rose Quartz might still be alive. Steven apologizes for sending her platoon into space, but their conversation devolves until both angrily agree that they can’t wait to die alone in space. She blames Steven for the result of the mission. The “eyeball” Ruby launches herself onto Steven’s bubble and starts pacing and ranting around his bubble, yelling about her report. ![]() “Bubbled” begins with Steven floating wildly through space, just off the heels of “Back to the Moon.” He hides himself in his bubble to protect himself, watching the other Rubies tumble through space. Between “Beta,” “Earthling” and “Back to the Moon,” we’ve got more Steven Universe revelations than you could shake a stick at. ![]() Last week, Jasper got up to shenanigans in “Gem Hunt” and “Crack the Whip,” while Amethyst broke our hearts and Bismuth broke them harder. The “Summer of Steven” began July 18 and gave us six new episodes, while Week 2 of “Steven’s Summer Adventures” gave us some time with Beach City citizenry before Jasper’s malevolent return. Week 4 of the biggest Stevenbomb ever continues with new Steven Universe episode “Bubbled,” starring Steven, Eyeball, and the endless void of space.
